USgamer:"This week… haters gotta hate. Well, hopefully this won't be a completely negative affair, but we do want to hear about which console - or computer come to think of it - disappointed you the most. Was it something successful that just didn't have games that you appreciated, or did you splurge on a system that failed to live up to your expectations?"

EK Cooling allegedly has slipped itself into a hot soup of seemingly endless financial woes, where it has not paid its staff, suppliers, and contractors for many months as the company is facing liquidity problems and a surplus of inventory left unsold, stuck in the warehouse for a more extended period. Gamers Nexus investigated these claims made by former and current personnel, where he found trails of unpaid bills lasting as long as three to four months and unpaid raises that accumulated for almost a year.
EK Water Blocks has two entities—a Slovenian-based headquarters and a US-based subsidiary, EK Cooling Solutions. Steve narrated the series of events in detail, stating that the company was reportedly irresponsible and negligent regarding payment. Consequently, partners and employees are forced to share the burden of alleged mismanagement. It all begins with its extensive range of products, leading to a surplus of goods. EK has over 230 water blocks, 40 liquid cooling kits, 85 reservoirs, 40 pumps, 73 radiators, and 212 miscellaneous accessories.
Yes this is not about video games directly but indirectly this will impact the pc gaming/workstation space hard.
This company is massive one of two in the water cool space so if it goes poof then thousands out there have no spare parts or half built computers.
SO yeah i know not about a video game but think of it as amd leaving the pc space but this is ekwb that could be leaving water cooling in the pc space
Jayz2cents a supporter of there products also has issues

As someone that has built a watercooling rig. EK is big, but there's so many numerous watercooling part companies out there. EK's stuff isn't exactly amazing quality for the price compared to others either, it's just ok. Much like Corsair. The impact would be negligible long term. For perspective the majority of my parts are XSPC, at most I use EK for my gpu waterblocks and fittings. Both easily replaceable.

Reading some of the editorials here, I can see how the PlayStation 3 may have disappointed some (I enjoy it, but it's true: it never quite lived up to the PS2; to be fair though, that is a VERY hard crown to take in the opinion of many gamers) but I couldn't disagree more with the N64 disappointing. Loved that thing. Spent countless hours playing Mario 64, Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, Goldeneye, Banjo-Kazooie/Tooie, Perfect Dark, Conker's Bad Fur Day, Killer Instinct Gold, Super Smash Bros., and many more. I must've sunken at least 100 hours into each of those games just playing and/or restarting them (except Perfect Dark, which I never liked as much as Goldeneye but was still great).
That all being said, I think the console that disappointed me most was the XBOX (original). When I saw the controller design and Shenmue port exclusivity, I expected it to pick up the pieces of the Dreamcast and continue its legacy. Instead, I only ever played it for Ninja Gaiden. Yes, multiplatform games ran better, but during that era, I actually very, very rarely ever played multiplatform games. The PS2 had such an insane plethora of exclusive games that there was this blissfully frightening feeling of getting through these games. I barely had time to play anything else with the amount of RPGs I found myself diving into. I also spent stupid amounts of time playing Capcom's games since this was their golden era in my opinion (Onimusha, Devil May Cry, and yes, I actually really enjoyed the Outbreak games online). I can never forget the magic of Snake Eater on PS2 either. Because that is my favorite game and it originally launched on PS2, I can never dissociate that sensation from the PS2 experience. PS2 will always be the best console for me so perhaps it's an internal bias right away, but XBOX just didn't meet my expectations during this golden age. Loved the GameCube too. Brought the friends and family together better than the other consoles did, but I've always been about 90/10 singleplayer/multiplayer.
Wii, because I hardly play it and when I do it's usually Wind Waker or Skies of Arcadia Legends
My Wii is essentially a GameCube, I don't really touch my Wii titles
The GameCube was a disappointment for me. Apart from a couple of games, it just took up space in my house.
The Dreamcasts life was cut short.
Ps4 is the most disappointing for me, all bark but no bite, no creativity, no quality exclusives, needs to rely heavily on 3rd party support and graphic gimmicks or it wouldn't even exist.
Least disappointing Wii U, strictly for real gamers.
Xbone somewhere in the middle.
